As we speak, Singapore is rolling out its plan for the privatisation of the electricity market. As of now, there are as many as 12 electricity retailers competing to sell their energy package and each retailer charges a price lower than the tariff price set by Singapore Power, the de facto energy retailer. These retailers purchase electricity in bulk from electricity-generating companies instead of producing their own, and subsequently sell the resource to their customers.
One of the challenges faced by these retailers is the lack of accurate demand forecast for electricity. This is a key issue as a poor forecast of demand for electricity results in the resource being wasted and revenue lost for the company.
Our project therefore aims to estimate the total monthly electricity consumption per housing units to provide these electricity retailers a picture of how much electricity is needed in the grid.
To provide an estimate of the monthly electricity consumption by dwelling type.
The topic on the privatisation of the electricity market stirred our curiosity and we decided to looked at some of the challenges faced by the private electricity retailers. Through our discussions,we realised the importance of a more robust forecast for electricity demand. Hence using the knowledge of geospatial analytics, we would like to tackle this issue.
